Marianne Faithfull - Is This What I Get for Loving You ? lyrics

There's been a lot of talk around

That you've been seen with a certain party

And now I'm so afraid I'm losing you.

Oh baby, don't tell me you don't want my love,

I couldn't give it to just anybody.

Baby, won't you say it isn't true.

Don't leave me, baby,

Don't tell me it's over,

After I trusted you and did my best

To make you happy!

Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?

Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?

There was a night when you held me tight

And you said you'd always love me ...

You said you'd always need me ...

What will there be left for me ?

It's such a cruel world to be alone in.

I always needed you to look out for me.

Oh baby, I'm gonna miss your loving arms

'Cause they're the only arms I feel at home in.

Don't you know how lonely I'm gonna be ?

Don't leave me, baby,

Don't tell me it's over,

After I trusted you and did my best

To make you happy!

Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?

Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?

There was a night when you held me tight

And you said you'd always love me ...

You said you'd always need me ...

What will there be left for me ?

It's such a cruel world to be alone in.

I always needed you to look out for me.

Oh baby, I'm gonna miss your loving arms

'Cause they're the only arms I feel at home in.

Don't you know how lonely I'm gonna be ?

Don't leave me, baby,

Don't tell me it's over,

After I trusted you and did my best

To make you happy!

Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?

Is this what I get for loving you, baby ?

There was a night when you held me tight

And you said you'd always love me ...

You said you'd always need me ...
